British Baptist Core Values

In 1998, the Baptist Union of Great Britain issued a statement setting out the 5 Core Values which it believed should characterise Baptists as they seek to be a Gospel people. These 5 Core Values are:

• Confronting evil, injustice, and hypocrisy.
• Challenging worldly concepts of power, wealth, status, and security.

• Transcending barriers of gender, language, race, class, age and culture.
• Identifying with those who are rejected, deprived, and powerless.

• Accepting vulnerability and the necessity of sacrifice.
• Seeking to reflect the generous life-giving nature of God.

• Demonstrating in word and action God's forgiving and healing love.
• Calling and enabling people to experience the love of God for themselves.

• Engaging in worship and prayer which inspire and undergird all we do and are.
• Exploring and expressing what it means to live together as the people of God, obeying his Word and following Christ in the whole of daily life.
